The three investigators: the mystery of the silver spider
The Mystery of the Silver Spider takes the Three Investigators to the fictional European country of Varania. Their new friend, Prince Djaro, cannot ascend the throne without the historic royal emblem - a silver spider on a silver chain.
But it's been stolen by Djaro's enemies! Posing as tourists, but actually secret agents, Jupiter, Pete, and Bob must find the spider to save the monarchy and see their friend crowned.
By turns enthralling, adventurous, and exotic, the eighth book in Robert Arthur's classic mystery series promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.
After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is "We Investigate Anything," and their trademark is " " - three question marks, taken together. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of The Three Investigators series, this new edition of the Robert Arthur novels includes all ten titles, with end notes written by Elizabeth Arthur and Steven Bauer.
